One Day You Will Understand is the first EP by Nigerian singer Mr Eazi. Instead of being credited as a Mr Eazi release, it is credited to Mr Eazi and music company emPawa Africa. Released exclusively through emPawa Africa, the project features guest appearances from King Promise and C Natty. Production was handled by GuiltyBeatz, Blaq Jerzee, Nonso Amadi and Legendury Beatz. One Day You Will Understand serves as the follow-up to Life Is Eazi, Vol. 2 – Lagos to London (2018).
In an Apple Music interview, Mr Eazi said the calm surroundings of his lakeside home inspired One Day You Will Understand. He described waking up to peaceful lake views, which shaped the project's mood. He said the cover art was taken spontaneously on his iPhone while he was relaxing. He also mentioned plans to release more projects that year, mixing solo songs and collaborations with styles like Spanish and dancehall.[2]
Singles
The EP's only single "I No Go Give Up On You" was released on 22 May 2020. The song was produced by Blaq Jerzee and dropped alongside its accompanying animated visualizer.[3]
Critical reception
Pulse Nigeria'sMotolani Alake praised One Day You Will Understand for its romantic themes and songwriting, likening it to "words written down and placed in a time capsule" that evoke the innocence of teenage love. He rated the EP 7.5 out of 10, calling it "an amazing experience" with "very little flaws by thought or execution."[4] Emmanuel Esomnofu, writing for Notjustok, said that Mr Eazi "connected both endeavors—artistic and business—for his latest effort," and called the EP "a concise effort of 4 songs." He noted that it is "an appetizer—its slimness suggests there's another Mr. Eazi curated effort nearby," and concluded that listeners "should be optimistic towards future projects."[5]
